Hi,

I applied for my wifes general visit visa back home and got rejected first time saying that one of my accounts was overdrawn and I didtn explain them my immigration circumstances after 18 march 2013 which is when my visa expires in UK. I reapplied again giving all the bank accounts no overdrawn £4k plus balance here and back home joint account having £1500 plus. Also provided my back home property papers for the tie with the country. Now they have rejected again saying that since she is a house wife money does not belongs to her and she dosent has enough ties back home. Also that my visa expires on 18 march 13. They do not know my immigration status after that despite of explaining them that I will get my ILR.
Shall I wait untill I get my ILR nad apply for family visit visa or shall I apply for dependent visa after. I dont want to spend lot of money on dependent visa considering its expensive option and she does not wants to live here due to the family matters back home.

Gurus please advise.

Thank you.

Currently you do not have ILR. Once you have it and if you have it, situation would change in your favour.

I agreed completely with the advise offered by wpilr_nov12 but the only addition is you need to clear the mess tagged on your wife record regarding the rejected applications twice. If you are applying for your ILR soon, you may not do anything until you have your ILR.

What do you mean they don't know your immigration status, didn't you send copies of your data page and residency status page to her as part of her previous applications? if you did which of course you ought to have, then they know your immigration status.

That said, Please note that having ILR doesn't not necessarily translates to dependant Visa be automatically granted , if you don't do your homework properly by ensuring you comply with other immigration rules particularly as it relates to finance matter .
